Elevations in View Map deleted by mistake

[Anonymous]

Whilst cleaning up obsolete views etc, it appears that the Elevations in my View Map have been deleted by mistake.

This seems to be independent of undo as I noticed and couldn't rectify it.

The elevations are still on my layout but I'm not sure how to sort everything out/what implications this might have.

This is my first project in Archicad so I'm still getting up to speed on the organiser/navigator etc

The old drawing (view) will be gone and it will now be a live link to the new view.
As you are basically re-creating the same old view the re-linked view should be the same as it was so you should need to re-crop the drawing (assuming you have the same 'view settings' for the zooming (bottom of view settings dialogue)).

It is the same as deleting the old drawing and placing a new one, it just saves you the effort of maybe re-cropping the drawing and maybe having to move it as well.

Thank once again Barry.

All sorted now (linking back to the recreated elevations), I just didn't want to go about it the wrong way.

It's a shame there isn't an undo command for a slip of the mouse etc.

Regarding the unlinked elevations on a sheet, is there ever a call for this in any archicad workflow? Perhaps for an issued drawing that needs to remain unaltered?

Yes but you wouldn't 'un-link' an elevation by deleting the view.
In the drawing settings you can change it from auto update to manual.
Then it will only update when you tell it to.
